What We Can Know
by Ian McEwan (Goodreads Author) Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee in Readers' Favorite Fiction |
|
“Essere uomo ha i suoi vantaggi. Fai poco o niente. Sono le donne che lavorano. Gli uomini, sopratutto quando c’è la neve, oziano. Danno ordini, bevono e puliscono i fucili. O li usano. Ci sono stati molti morti ammazzati, da quando in Albania è arrivata la libertà.”
― Sworn Virgin
― Sworn Virgin
“Solo un uomo può essere capofamiglia. Può essere libero di andare dove vuole, di commandare, di comprare terra, di difendersi, di attaccare se necessario, di ammazzare o farsi ammazzare. All’uomo sono concesse la libertà e la gloria, oltre al dovere. Alla donna non resta che l’obbedienza. E lei con l’obbedienza aveva qualche problema, tutto qua.”
― Sworn Virgin
― Sworn Virgin
“Era l’unica ragazza del villaggio iscrita all’università. Lei non voleva avere bambini, voleva solo i libri. A in mezzo alle montagne questo non potevi dirlo, se eri nata donna.”

“There are some things in this world you rely on, like a sure bet. And when they let you down, shifting from where you've carefully placed them, it shakes your faith, right where you stand.”

“Am I a good person? Deep down, do I even really want to be a good person, or do I only want to seem like a good person so that people (including myself) will approve of me? Is there a difference? How do I ever actually know whether I'm bullshitting myself, morally speaking?”

“He tried to keep on the right side of power, tried to be loyal to so many things that he himself couldn't tell which one of his selves was the authentic, if any.”

“He looks like the sort of man who can't afford to leave, and doesn't want to stay, and so he is doing both at once.”
